Description of Domain Architectures |
Domain Architectures is a comprehensive catalog of the domain architectures essential to software developers using object-oriented technology and UML to solve real-life problems. Providing a unique top-down view of systems, the book also provides quick access to landmarks and references to domain architectures. The ability to describe applications, in terms of the properties they share, offers software designers a vast new landscape for implementing software reuse. The ideal professional's handbook. Helps readers reduce trial and error and increase productivity by reusing tried and trusted ideas Models are described and documented using UML (incorporating UML 2.0) models and meta models
